While Fayyad's cabinets have not been able to extend their authority outside of West Bank cities and towns, the resumption of Israeli revenue transfers (Israel collects a large portion of Palestinian tax revenues when goods destined for Palestinian markets pass through Israeli ports) and a massive international assistance effort has assured the fiscal health of the Ramallah-based PA since June 2007.

This new independence of Gulf countries will be a challenge for the next US administration. Washington can no longer assume that the Gulf countries will follow its lead even if they do not like its policies. But this new assertiveness and independence are also an opportunity for the US to...

Merrill recalls kneeling in the dust on a dirt road behind a mosque with four Lebanese Army soldiers aiming their rifles. Among other things, he remembers the noon sun beat down on his bare back, arms, and legs, a short, rough-talking major having ordered to strip him to his underwear scrutinizing his passport as a journalist that lacked a press pass which made his presence in the war zone suspicious. Also, he describes Lebanon's worst crisis since the civil war which claimed 150,000 lives and might spark another conflagration.
